And there we found something, oh! Mrs. Collingwood! We felt sure you had never seen it, and that you ought to! You see, we knew all the rest of the the story, from Joyce's great-aunt, Lucia Kenway. And we felt you ought to see it, at least I felt that way, and so I wrote you the letter.
Howbridge is the executor of the estate; but we four Kenway girls and Aunt Sarah have the income from it. And we came to live in this old Corner House almost as soon as Uncle Peter Stower died." "Then you could take boarders if you wanted to?" demanded the white-haired boy, sticking to his proposition like a leech. "Why maybe I'd ask Ruth "
But he always had a smile for Ruth Kenway. The lawyer had acquired a very deep respect for Ruth's good sense and for her character in general. As he said, there were so many narrow, stingy souls in the world, it was refreshing to meet a generous nature like that of the oldest Corner House girl.
She began telling me that it was so strange, that she had been in this house once, and curiously enough, just before it was closed for good. Then, you can warrant, I listened with all my ears! "She said she had become acquainted with the lady through meeting her a short time before at the house of a friend in New York. This friend had then introduced them, 'Mrs. Hubert Kenway Mrs.
So that is how they got the invitation; but at the time the Kenway sisters did not suspect how near they came to not being invited at all to the Christmas party. Such a "hurly-burly" as there was about the old Corner House on Friday afternoon!
Agnes and Neale O 'Neil met in the same grade, but they did not have a chance to speak, for the boys sat on one side of the room, and the girls on the other. The second Kenway girl had her own troubles. During the weeks she lived at the old Corner House, she had been looking forward to entering school in the fall, so she had met all the girls possible who were to be in her grade.
The Kenway girls had had plenty of cherries, peaches, apples, pears, and small fruit all through the season. There were still some late peaches ripening, and when Agnes Kenway happened to open her eyes early, the very next morning after the goat came to live with them, she saw the blushing beauty of these peaches through the open window of the ell room she shared with Ruth.
"I'm not going to," said Tess. "I was reaching for some more butter for my toast not for your tooth." "We-ell!" confessed the smallest Kenway; "it just jumps when anybody comes toward it." "Be a brave little girl and go with sister to the dentist," begged Ruth. "No please Ruthie! I can't," wailed Dot.
The Kenway sisters went shopping that afternoon as usual. The end of Main Street near Blachstein and Mapes department store, and the Unique Candy Store, and other shops that the sisters patronized, were filled with shoppers. Milton was a busy town on Saturdays. Tess and Dot were crossing the street at Ralph Avenue when a shouting up Main Street made them turn to look that way.
"And I'm sure I don't know where you live," Neale hastened to say. "It's very kind of you " "Then you'll come?" cried Carrie, confidently. "We live out of town on the Buckshot Road. Anybody will tell you." "I suppose the Kenway girls will know," said Neale, doubtfully. "I can go along with them." Carrie was a girl who thought quickly.
